Ventaxians are friendly and mostly nondescript. They have a very peaceful, clean world that is the result of a 1000 year improvement plan called the "Contract of Ardra.". The placid and tolerant Ventaxian countryside is used by some religious orders as a site of monasteries and abbeys. Their theology held that the reforms were sparked after leaders literally sold out for prosperity by signing a pact with "the devil," Ardra, but aside from considering her name unlucky to speak aloud the people lived uneventfully. They panicked in 2367 when a con artist posing as Ardra returns to claim "her" planet until the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D crew successfully revealed her fraud; Captain Picard pointed out that Ardra may likely have been a secret native ruse to help push the reforms. Although agrarian, their capital city still featured tall pyramidal buildings and large public walkways. | Ventaxians are friendly and mostly nondescript.

Ventaxian technology is somewhat behind modern standards, probably since the Ventaxian people have minimal interest in spaceflight. They were once a technological humanoid culture but they retreated to an agrarian society a millennia ago. | Ventaxian technology is somewhat behind modern standards, probably since the Ventaxian people have minimal interest in spaceflight.
